"The record is complex and still melodically straight and enticing. It is music to be listened to at a barbecue, in a car or alone in your room. The album rewards deep listening, but could also be played as an introduction to someone who has not listened to jazz or as the perfect way to relax on a Saturday or any other day of the week with a great bunch of unconventional jazz songs".

"A history of the pedal steel guitar in jazz wouldn't make much of a book. Basically, no one besides Buddy Emmons, Speedy West and a handful of others has ever played anything remotely jazzy on the instrument. Maybe that's because its twangy timbre is so closely associated with country music. In any case, that very foreignness to what we usually consider jazz must have had something to do with why tenor saxophonist Chris Cheek chose to hire Spanish pedal steel player David Soler for his new quintet. It's a bold move that works like a charm".
